Chapter 2386: A word that will last through the ages
Taixing six years, the first month.
The first rain came suddenly.
Nature likes to tease humans so much. Watching humans running around in the rain, packing things, and then making a hehehe sound, raindrops are slowly falling in the sky, as if they are entering old age. Painful prostate in middle age.
As the first spring rain fell, the cultivated fields in Guanzhong gradually thawed. The cattle were organized and began to plow the land in groups to prepare for the next wave of planting.
There are also many mountains and forests around Chang''an. The animals in Lishan Mountain and Zhongnan Mountain will wander around in the surrounding area, and sometimes they will rush out in a daze. Maybe they are hungry and want to find some food in the human villages, but these Unlucky guys often encounter opponents who are more ferocious than them. Even the rough-skinned and wild second brother cannot withstand the overwhelming number of men in Guanzhong. He can only shout "Master" and then reincarnate. Reincarnated.
Zhang Zhang was wearing a raincoat and walking in the fields. When he passed by, the farmers in the fields would ask him kindly and even invite Zhang Zhang to sit on the head of their fields and ask him to go home and take out his clay children. I kept some dry biscuits to entertain Zhang Zhang...
Zhang Zhang would inevitably have to refuse again and again, or even scold these farmers with a straight face, before they gave up.
?The farmer''s idea is very simple and direct. The benefit to Zhang Zhang is to ask Zhang Zhang...
After all, in the hearts of these farmers, Zhang Zhang is like the messenger of the Kitchen God they serve on the stove, and like the salt bearer of the God of Wind and Rain, who can tell them how to look at the weather, how to cultivate the land, and how to make better crops. Planters, how to get more harvests.
If you don’t worship such people, why should you worship those officials whose bellies are as big as those of pregnant women?
The system of Bachelor of Agriculture and Bachelor of Engineering is now relatively close to the people at the grassroots level. The farmers and women of Sanfu in Guanzhong are integrated with each other. The people at the grassroots level respect these people from the bottom of their hearts and respect what these people represent. The great Han hussar general burst into tears of gratitude.
?Zhang Zhang was walking when he suddenly saw a small figure in the small grass pavilion in front of him. He couldn''t help but smile and quickened his pace. The figure in the small pavilion ran over in the drizzle and saluted Zhang Zhang respectfully.
During the off-season in winter, people like Zhang Zhang naturally seldom come to the fields. It has been more than a month since we last met. Zhang Zhang looked at the little guy and felt that the little guy seemed to have grown taller.
Just like seedlings in a field, they grow taller every time it rains.
Can you memorize the Li Ren chapter? Zhang Zhang asked, "Come back and listen..."
??The little guy followed Zhang Zhang forward and recited loudly: "The Master said, benevolence is the beauty." How can you know if you choose not to be kind? Confucius said, an unkind person cannot stay in an appointment for a long time, and cannot enjoy happiness for a long time. A benevolent person is at ease with benevolence, and a wise person is beneficial to benevolence. The Master said, "Only the benevolent can do good to others and do evil to others..."
The drizzle gradually stopped.
Zhang Zhang walked to the pavilion and shook off the rainwater on his coir raincoat. After listening for a while, he suddenly interrupted the little guy''s recitation, intercepted a sentence from the Li Ren chapter and asked, "The Master said, there is no need to worry about being without a position. The cause of the problem is, what’s next? 』
??The little guy was stuck for a moment, then his eyes looked at Zhang Zhang''s face, and his voice was obviously softer, "Is... is it "Don''t worry about what you know, you can know what to do"? 』
Zhang Zhang smiled and nodded.
The little guy exhaled a breath.
“I’m not very familiar with it yet… I still need to recite it from time to time, so I can’t forget it…” Zhang Zhang said, “Tell me again, what does this sentence mean?” 』
??The little guy hesitated for a moment, "Don''t worry about not having a position, but worry about whether you can stand. Well... don''t worry about not being known, but pursue how to be known..."
“Hmm…” Zhang Zhang nodded slightly, “It’s not bad, but it’s not entirely correct. The meaning of this sentence is... don''t worry about not having a position, worry about not having the skills to be qualified for the position. Instead of worrying that no one knows you, you should worry about how to learn skills that can make others know you..."
When Zhang Zhang said this, he did not look at the little guy, but looked into the distance. It seemed that this sentence was also his own emotion. After a while, Zhang Zhang lowered his head, looked at the little guy and said, "I think... I may not be able to teach you anymore in the future..."
??The little guy was stunned immediately, and the expression on his face seemed to be condensed. Then he knelt down directly at Zhang Zhang''s feet with a thud, "What did you do wrong, sir...sir..."
"Haha, silly kid..." Zhang Zhang stretched out his hand to help the little guy up, "It''s not that you did anything wrong, it''s that I want to transfer him away..."
"Why? Why leave? Sir, don''t leave! ” The little guy still didn’t know what was going on and asked with his eyes wide open.
Zhang Zhang smiled and shook his head.
The apprentice next to Zhang Zhang also laughed and said, "Master is going to Hanzhong to be the county magistrate!" If you say you won’t leave, you won’t leave? 』
…” The little guy’s tears were falling down.
Zhang Zhang smiled and took the little guy''s hand, "There are four seasons in the year, and the harvest is long. Is there anything in this world that remains unchanged?" Now the master is just the leader of a place, taking care of Zhuang He here. In the future, the master will take care of the growth of Zhuang He, the people of a county... Don’t you understand the difference? 』
?The little guy was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand, but he also seemed not to fully understand what Zhang Zhang meant.
Apprentice Zhang Zhang on the side smiled and said, "Silly boy, don''t you understand? 』
??The little guy looked at the apprentice in confusion, and then saw the apprentice secretly pointing at Zhang Zhang. After a moment, he suddenly understood and fell to the ground. His voice was so excited that his voice trembled, "Disciple, disciple, kowtow to the master!" 』
This time, Zhang Zhang didn''t stop the little guy. He waited until the little guy kowtowed three times and wanted to continue kowtowing, then he reached out and pulled him up, and then took out a handwritten book from his arms, " Master, I don’t have anything good to give you. This is a scripture I copied myself, just to give it to you..."
??The little guy quickly wiped his hands on his body again and again, and then carefully took the handwritten book. Looking at the official calligraphy ink characters on the book that were as heavy as bricks, his body kept trembling with excitement.
The apprentice also stepped forward and handed the little guy a cloth bag, "This is the meeting gift I gave you, senior brother... Don''t dislike it. It''s the pen and ink I used before, and now I give it to you..."
?The little guy trembled and subconsciously took it, and then he was about to salute, but was stopped.
『I just know that you are a child of a wealthy family in the village. Do you have a correct name? ” asked Zhang Zhang.
?Zhang Zhang has asked Da Zhuang. Da Zhuang has no objection at all to letting his children worship under Zhang Zhang. He even wants Zhang Zhang to take his son to Hanzhong. However, it is obvious that Zhang Zhang is not suitable to take his children with him now.
When Zhang Zhang originally taught this child, he just did it casually and did not specifically want to do anything. As a result, during the teaching process, he found that this child was indeed harder and smarter, and he was a good student.
After all, even in later generations, there are still some people who get sleepy when they pick up a book.
"Master...I, my family name is Wang...my family...call me Erzi, or, or call me...little bastard..." The little guy lowered his head, somewhat embarrassed.
"Ah ha, ha ha ha..." Zhang Zhang raised his head and laughed a few times, "It''s okay, my father used to just call me by my nickname, but now that I''m studying, I can have a proper name... So, I''m here to help you Just come up with a name, talk to your adults about it when you get home, and if you like, use this one..."
??The little guy quickly prostrated himself again and said, "Master, please give me a name!" 』
"Well... you and I got acquainted on the side of the field... If it is named after the field, it would be a bit too big. Well, why not just use the word "miao", Tianzhong Zhuanghe, born as a seedling..." Zhang Zhang faced the little boy. The guy said, "I hope you can bear fruit one day..."
?The little guy, Wang Miao, couldn''t help but burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly to thank him. When he raised his head, he found that Zhang Zhang and his apprentice had already stood up and moved forward. The apprentice also waved to him, "Next time...well, when master and I have time to return to Chang''an, we will come see you again...remember to endorse..."
??Wang Miao stood up quickly, then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly chased after him, panting and grabbing Zhang Zhang''s clothes, "Master!" Master! This... and what, bacon..."
"Haha," Zhang Zhang touched Wang Miao''s head, "I''ll just leave Shu Xiu at your home for the time being... I''ll wait until my teacher settles down in a few years before talking... Remember, if my teacher finds you slacking off, you won''t If you study with all your heart, I won''t accept your bad practice... Remember, you have to study hard, so that you won''t be busy all your life... Go back! 』
…(;Д｀)… ????Chang''an City, within the Huqi Mansion.
Main hall.
?Zheng Xuan sat with a serious look and a strong aura.
『The words of Confucianism are not true. ” Fei Qian said slowly, “It is not necessary to say that all Confucians are useless. The righteousness of Confucianism can be passed down through the ages. The study of classics can distinguish right from wrong, know the truth, and understand benevolence and righteousness. 』
?Zheng Xuan nodded slightly to express his approval.
…It is better to have no books at all than to believe in all the books. Mr. Zheng might as well ask himself, is it true that all the scriptures and commentaries in the Han Dynasty today are all spoken by the sages of ancient times, and are all the secrets of Confucianism? 』
Fei Qian''s voice is steady and smooth.
Although the drizzle gradually stopped, there was still some remaining rainwater falling on the tiled eaves. It made a rustling sound in front of the court and in the corridor, as if eavesdropping on the conversation between Fei Qian and Zheng Xuan.
『The Master said, how can one repay virtue? Repay vengeance with straightness and repay kindness with kindness. However, today there are many people who intercept the latter sentence, and their words must be virtuous, but they are not known to be straight. Why? Hometown wishes are the thief of virtue. If you are an official who commits corruption, you are guilty, but if you are a thief of academic virtue, what should you do? 』
"The ancient texts are obscure and difficult to understand, so there are annotations..." Zheng Xuan''s voice was also very calm, without any hint of fireworks. If you just listened to his tone, you would have thought that he was just chatting with Fei Qian, but Zheng Xuan''s expression was serious and even gray. His beard seemed to express his stubbornness, "Teach the disciples and use direct explanations. However, there are many stupid people in the country. It is difficult to understand the meaning of the Tao with direct explanations, and more chaos will arise. At this time, it is necessary to use notes as explanations and talk more about benevolence." Virtue means not mistaking the words of the sages. 』
Fei Qian suddenly smiled, looked at Zheng Xuan and asked, "Let me ask Duke Zheng, are there many disciples under Duke Zheng''s family now?" Or maybe a native? 』
?Zheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, then remained silent.
Being a time traveler means having the structure and vision of a time traveler.
Of course, Fei Qian can also argue with Zheng Xuan about things such as Confucianism''s emphasis on benevolence, which leads to the **** castration of the people, or he can tell some inexplicable words to appear smart, but in fact, the more complex the issue, the more it must be simplified, otherwise It will inevitably involve a lot of things, and then they will argue with each other until they are red-faced without getting any real results.
?For example, does it make sense to talk about the development of the era and the changes in the education system in the future? It will only turn the original problem into more problems, and then the building will become more and more crooked, and endless arguments will continue. In future generations, this kind of mistake will only be made by novices who have just joined the company.
Discuss the matter as it is and get to the point.
Zheng Xuan came to discuss it. First of all, he wanted to confirm Fei Qian''s attitude towards Confucian classics. Fei Qian gave a direct response to this point, unambiguously affirming the role of Confucian classics, and then reached an agreement with Zheng Xuan.
The point of disagreement naturally lies in the second aspect, which is the exegesis of the scriptures.
Zheng Xuan believed that "manual free translation" was needed, while Fei Qian believed that "machine translation" would be enough. Fei Qian used "Xiang Yuan" as an example to illustrate the problems that may arise in the process of "manual free translation."
Zheng Xuan, on the other hand, feels that the country people cannot understand "machine translation", which is indeed a problem. Just like some people in later generations simply "machine-translate" a large number of foreign-language works in order to gain a reputation, which makes it very difficult for many people to read.
?Then Fei Qian stabbed Zheng Xuan''s lung tube...
Because there are no so-called "countryside people" under Zheng Xuan''s family!
? Confucius also accepted a few, such as Zilu, who was born as a "barbarian", but most of the disciples under Confucius were not "countryside people", and there were even a few who had good family backgrounds and were very rich. Yan Hui, who was praised by later generations for being willing to live in poverty and who could only eat a cold steamed bun and a ladle of cold water, actually had fifty acres of farmland at home...
By the time of the Han Dynasty, when Zheng Xuan was teaching, the average attending students might be some "countrysiders", but those who were actually accepted as disciples were of high origin. He was either a descendant of a noble family or a second-generation official, so Zheng Xuan''s reason that "countryside people" could not understand "direct interpretation" of his actions was completely untenable.
Ordinary auditors are not even qualified to enter, let alone receive direct guidance from Zheng Xuan. "Enter the hall" is not just a casual talk. If you are not qualified, you don''t even have the opportunity to ask questions, so there is no need. Can you tell me what scripture annotations Zheng Xuan wrote? Therefore, who is reading Zheng Xuan’s annotations and explanations?
Seeing Zheng Xuan''s silence, Fei Qian smiled, like a big-tailed wolf, "Zheng Gong came here this time to remind you of something... Nowadays, there are many annotations on scriptures in the world, and each school has its own interpretation. Either correct it or distort it, each insisting on one word, making it difficult for scholars all over the world to distinguish the good from the bad. Now that Zheng Gong''s school has been through the past and the present, and has a wide range of knowledge, it would be better to work with Mr. Shui Jing to correct the annotations of various schools in order to be straight... I don''t know Mr. Zheng, what do you think? 』
Corregate and correct the annotations of various scriptures? ” Zheng Xuan’s gray beard couldn’t help but tremble twice. Facing Fei Qian who was constantly coming up with new ideas, Zheng Xuan really wanted to say a classic line, but he was a little reluctant to give it up.
Fei Qian nodded repeatedly, "Of course, let''s seek the correct solution." Presumably the ancient sages did not want their writings to be used by Xiaoxiao and deceive the world? 』
Zheng Xuan glanced at Fei Qian slightly, and was obviously not very satisfied with Fei Qian''s words of "Xiao Xiao". After all, according to Fei Qian''s previous standards, Zheng Xuan himself was also within the so-called "Xiao Xiao" category, but Fei Qian''s This proposal really made Zheng Xuan very excited.
Zheng Xuan started annotating scriptures and poems very early on. Zheng Xuan made annotations for "Yi", "Poetry", "Li", etc., and these annotations also had a great influence on later generations through his teaching.
The reason why Fei Qian didn''t go to Zheng Xuan and others to vent his feelings before publicly saying "You can''t punish the doctor" was because he wanted to set a hook to see if Zheng Xuan and others could be fished out. After all, Wen Wu was the first, and if there were some different opinions, he would There is always room for an argument, and then Zheng Xuan came, didn''t he?
"If I don''t agree..." Zheng Xuan looked at Fei Qian, "Shall I let Mr. Shui Jing... take charge of this matter?" 』
Fei Qian smiled and didn''t answer.
Even if Sima Hui doesn''t do it, Fei Qian also has a third plan, which is like a road show for later generations. He will hold a large-scale Qinglong Temple road show, and then hold a few debates and so on, and he can also sell some by the way. What kind of product naming rights are there? If not, just put the name of your spice shop on it...
When such a result similar to a "public opinion" really comes out, even if Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui want to express their opinions, it is estimated that no one will listen.
Zheng Xuan suddenly regretted coming to Feiqian...
Zheng Xuan had thought that Fei Qian might have some back-up tactics before, but he didn''t expect Fei Qian to be so ambitious. In the past, the Xiping Stone Scripture was just a correction of the scriptures, but now even the annotations of the scriptures have to be "corrected"!
It''s like scratching an itch in the right place.
What''s more, Zheng Xuan also knew that if Sima Hui was really asked to come here to "correct" the scriptures, would this old guy overturn all the annotations that Zheng Xuan had worked so hard for so many years?
"I am already old..."
It’s okay, why not take advantage of the experts and seize the important road first? Fei Qian laughed and said, "It is enough to have Duke Zheng outline and guide you... Duke Zheng is good at commenting on scriptures, and Mr. Shui Jing can be the chief of staff..."
Fei Qian''s original plan was to encourage whoever came first to take the lead. Who told the old fox to stay in the hole for a while and not come out?
“…” Zheng Xuan pondered for a moment, “If Mr. Shui Jing doesn’t want to…”
Does Duke Zheng know that this general will sacrifice the Western Qiang captives to Xu? Fei Qian said meaningfully, "At that time, I will go to His Majesty to inform the world that the Cai family''s book collection will be reopened, and I will invite the scholars from all over the world to Qinglong Temple in Chang''an to correct the scriptures!" 』
Zheng Xuan took a breath, a question hovered on his lips for a moment, and then disappeared without mentioning.
Today, if one is ranked number one in terms of collection of books, it would be Feiqian.
After all, Cai''s books are now under Fei Qian''s name, and I heard that most of the Dongguan Book was collected by Fei Qian. However, Fei Qian has never acknowledged this matter. He only expresses those books to the outside world. They were all burned down by the Hangu Order at that time...
Therefore, if Fei Qian invites great scholars from all over the world in the name of opening these books, even if the Emperor Liu Xie wants to compete, he may not be able to win over Fei Qian. After all, Fei Qian''s books are still nominally "Cai''s" and belong to the "Cai family". Private books…
As for Xu County, haha, apart from the people of Yingchuan who can supplement the number of royal libraries, what else can be said about the collection of books?
Zheng Xuan looked at Fei Qian, looking left and right. Although he felt a little unhappy, he always felt that Fei Qian had a plan when he came to Luoyang to read and transport books. If this is really the case, this kind of thinking is deep. If you don''t obey, what tricks will you use?
“It’s okay, just follow the lord’s wishes...” Zheng Xuan sighed, then touched his waist and sighed slightly, “My lord’s strategic planning skills...are indeed extremely exquisite...”
Fei Qian put his palms in his hands and said, "Mr. Zheng is so complimentary... I wish to congratulate Gong Zheng for being famous throughout the ages for your words and meritorious deeds..."
